Dear crochet friends,

Crochet Pattern Loop Scarf "Laura"



Crochet Pattern Wrist Warmers

Crochet pattern for a small oval basket

You can never have enough little baskets. For odds and ends, in the bathroom, or as shown here as a planter for flowers.



Crochet pattern for a blanket

The blanket is started in the middle and can be crocheted individually to the desired size. The pattern repeat covers 2 rounds

Knitting pattern for a hat in 8 sizes—from 30–33 cm to 55 cm for adults, this hat can be easily made with a set of double-pointed needles.



Knitting pattern for a turtleneck collar

This model is knitted using only knit and purl stitches. The collar makes a great alternative to a scarf or loop scarf. 

Fall is just around the corner, and toddlers are perfectly equipped for walks in warm leggings. These sock-yarn leggings are super comfortable; they move with them while still keeping their shape. They fit toddlers aged approx. 3–5 years.

Easy to knit for experienced knitters.

Every doll mom will cheer when she gets such a cute little Schlüttli for her darling. The Schlüttli even fits tiny newborns or preemies and all dolls measuring approx. 45–50 cm (including Baby Born). Easy to knit with top-down raglan; leftover yarn is enough for this. And of course, a hat is a must, and it is included in the pattern.

This cute sweater with a side button placket is the same size and is also knitted using the top-down raglan method. This lets you knit a whole set, so the baby doll gets a Christmas present too.

This explosion box offers you nearly unlimited possibilities for use. Depending on how you decorate it, it can be an excellent gift for a new baby or wedding, for Christmas or Easter, or for any other occasion.

You can fill the drawer boxes in just as many different ways, tailored to the occasion.



The box is made of photo cardstock and decorated with patterned paper. It measures approximately 10 x 10 x 10 cm and is very easy to make.

Here are a few small crochet projects I recommend that you can work on even on hot days. They’re quick to make and can be created using leftover yarn—preferably cotton. This way, you can keep your hands busy even in the summer:

Lucky Pigs with a Surprise
Giving the gift of luck is always a hit. These little pigs are crocheted around an empty Kinder Surprise egg shell. That way, you can open them up and hide a little surprise, a gift certificate, or some cash inside their bellies. Crochet several of them at once, and you’ll always have a little stash for surprises!

Vegetable Basket with Contents
For the Harvest Festival, this vegetable basket with crocheted vegetables makes a great decoration. Afterward, the vegetables find their way into the kids’ play kitchen, where they’re sure to be “processed” with enthusiasm.


Colorful Little Mice
If you want to give money as a gift, you can also package it symbolically as “mice to spend.” If you crochet the colorful little mice to match the color of the bills you’re giving, it looks especially decorative.

Fruit Slice Coasters
These glass coasters shaped like fruit slices are especially easy to crochet. And now that the pesky wasp season is upon us, they’re particularly handy because they can also double as glass coasters. A straw fits perfectly through the hole in the middle, keeping your drink safe from the wasps.

My list of top hits

For the sake of the environment and our wallets.

The size of the scarf can easily be adjusted.

Are you looking for a gift idea for a very special occasion?
This explosion box may take a bit of effort to make, but that’s exactly why it’s so special and guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind!
And since you’re making it yourself, you can tailor the colors and style perfectly to the occasion!

In addition to plenty of space for small, creatively arranged photos, the box contains a mini-box that you can use to wrap a small gift.



The box is made of photo cardstock and patterned paper and measures approximately 10 x 10 x 10 cm. It takes a bit of time and patience, but with a little crafting experience, it’s easy to recreate.

Knitting pattern for a scarf

This pattern is knitted using only knit and purl stitches and is easy to work. The scarf begins and ends with a point. In the pattern, the design as well as the increases and decreases are shown in written form and as a knitting chart.



Cable look without a cable needle

LiMaZo scarf is knitted with knit and purl stitches, and this cable look is created by the arrangement of the stitches. This model is also suitable for beginners.
